| They tell 'em not to feel scared
|
| They’re saying that the money and security’s still there
|
| They say we’re fighting for a prayer oh
|
| But now its coming no it’s coming oh I swear I swear
|
| But one day it will soon be here
|
| And when the man
|
| He got so tired of waiting says
|
| Not beaten by the way the government treats the system
|
| Said now you must be strong
|
| Says you got to carry on
|
| And you can be that man, that we’ve been fighting with for so long
|
| Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one
|
| Living and die its gonna be a long one son
|
| You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine
|
| You and I, its gonna be a long one son
|
| Oh this friend of mine, sitting on the picket line
|
| Wondering how he’s gonna pay his bills this time
|
| The company said the economy has run them dry
|
| But if we can all just work together
|
| You can work here, as long as forever
|
| But we gotta take your pay, straight down to minimum wage
|
| Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one
|
| Living and die its gonna be a long one son
|
| You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine
|
| You and I, its gonna be a long one son
|
| If you’re unemployed now, you don’t have to be ashamed somehow
|
| You’re just 1 in 400, 000 in a crowd
|
| You see me lift my hand up lift my hand up in the crowd
|
| Filling out applications online, thinking that you’re gonna get a job this time
|
| There’s only 100 of you, but only 2 jobs you got to do
|
| Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one
|
| Living and die its gonna be a long one son
|
| You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine
|
| You and I, its gonna be a long one son |
